Degrassi

Premise: The young lives on Degrassi Street are always rife with problems. Whether it's about sexuality, growing up, drugs or parents, there's always something going on in the high school and at their homes. The long-running, multiple award-winning franchise, most recently titled ``Degrassi: The Next Generation,'' follows the characters in a soap opera-type format as they endure the pangs of transitioning from childhood to adulthood.
